I believe that the matter of Judd's services may still be competitive. I don't reject the idea that it's down to two clubs.
So at a wild guess Collingwood's offer is 5, 14 and Brown.
Melbourne can offer 4. And whatever they get for Johnstone- at worst say Geelong would be mad not to offer #16 or so for him given where they're at. So say 5 and #16. Suppose they get #12.
At that rate Melbourne would still need to find something. #23 or whatever wouldn't swing it, you'd reckon. Brown would be big currency in this deal.
This is being negotiated right now. What names are about to appear in the rumours?
Can one club trump the other by upgrading #4 or #5 at the last minute? When is the last minute? No active party wants this matter still open on the last day of trading. Maybe even the second last.
